Episode 253 - Save Our Ship

Sorry about the hiatus, you guys. Real life sucks. A lot. But we are back now, and hopefully on a schedule.

I maintain that the title of the episode is referring to the Ashley/Carlos ship, which the show decided to take from me. *SOB*

So we open on a holodeck simudeck, where Ashley and TJ are doing some training against some really ugly mooks, the Craterites. Alpha calls the Rangers and tells them they're arriving at Earth, and Ashley asks Andros if he's ever been to Earth before. Her alien fetish is REALLY SHOWING, AND HI, ASHLEY, WHAT ABOUT CARLOS???

Back on Earth, Bulk and Skull are stargazing, looking for a new comet. Instead they spot Astronema's base. They are pretty good at finding the bad guys! This is why they are seriously big damn heroes.

Astronema notices that they're taking the shuttle to Earth, and then Elgar shows up. WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY? Astronema tells the quantrons to throw Elgar off the Dark Fortress, but Elgar claims that Dark Spectre sent him.

The Rangers discover that the Surf Spot has replaced the Juice Bar, and while Adelle is pretty great, I miss the Juice Bar. :( Andros looks very confused, and then he sees a surf board on the wall. Adelle asks him what planet he's from after he asks her what a surfboard is, and he tells her KO-35, and she laughs. Okay, that's actually kind of adorable.

Adelle brings the Rangers some fries even though they haven't ordered them. Because she TOTALLY KNOWS that they are Rangers. Ernie and/or Lt Stone totally let her know to be nice to them. (We are shipping Adelle/Ernie right now, because we can)

Andros uses his telekinis to put hot sauce in Bulk's drink. Yeah, Bulk was being a jerk to Skull, but that was a total dick move. (QR disagrees with me, but she also likes Andros and I don't.)

Skull starts loudly talking to Bulk about the space ship they saw and whether the professor will believe them, and then they run off. Because of this, the Rangers realize that Astronema has followed them back to Earth.

Bulk and Skull make it to Professor Phenomenous' place, and his awesome mailbox has a speaker attached, where they tell him they've seen aliens. Why is this a big deal? People have been invading Earth for 5 seasons now! Why is aliens suddenly not believable? I mean, last season there were monster tours.

Andros notices that they're being followed, and the Rangers turn around to see Quantrons, and we get some unmorphed fighting. And also TJ and Carlos have gone shopping for clothes in their new colors at some point. Alpha calls them and everyone morphs.

The Professor + Bulk and Skull are driving in the van of awesomeness, when it breaks down in front of NASADA. The Professor insists that the NASADA sign is actually an alien, and Bulk asks him for ID. Of course, at that exact point the Quantrons teleport in.

Meanwhile, the Rangers are attacked by Ecliptor. HE IS SO AWESOME. SO AWESOME. He and Andros fight one on one, while Astronema and her awesome hair decide to destroy the shuttle. Ecliptor heads out, and it looks like the shuttle might be destroyed and we get some GIGANTIC EXPLOSIONS and... then they just go into the shuttle and take off? Okay then. I am not really going to argue.

Astronema is the best, and I love her. Ecliptor grows, the Megazord is formed, and you know how this all works. Seriously, we are running out of ways to describe Megazord fights. It is cool for the spaced based part and the re-entry onto Earth, and Ecliptor is pretty awesome, especially when he makes seven of himself, but... yeah. We have seen this all before. Ashley uses her helmet mode and figures out that the real Ecliptor is the one in the center. Really? That would have been my guess as well. It looks like Ecliptor gets blown up by the Megazord, but he is far too awesome for that.

Ashley challenges Andros to a game of pool, and he uses his telekinisis again. Ashley thinks its incredibly hot. They offer a trade of pool lessons for telekinisis lessons. I... don't think telekinisis works that way, but I'll totally take it.

Astronema has changed her hair again, and she is fabulous. Except then we get the lead into the Turtles.

HOW THE HELL DO YOU SCREW UP A POWER RANGERS/TURTLES CROSSOVER. HOW?

Ugh, I may have to go marathon the Turtles movies. EVEN TMNT3 IS BETTER THAN THIS SHIT.

Fish: 2. Mostly for you know, the ending. How does Astronema know about the Turtles anyway?

Fic we want: Um, there have to be some creative uses for the Simudeck, right?
